Comprehensive RNA-Seq Reveals Molecular Changes in Kidney Malignancy Among People Living with HIV

ABSTRACT: To heighten the awareness of kidney malignancy in patients with HIV infection to facilitate the early diagnosis of kidney cancer, the differentially expressed mRNAs were analyzed in this malignant tumor using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We identified 2962 protein-coding transcripts in HIV-associated kidney cancer. KISS1R, CAIX, and NPTX2 mRNA expression levels were specifically increased in HIV-associated kidney cancer, and UMOD and TMEM213 mRNA were decreased in most cases based on real-time PCR analyses. These findings were similar to those noted for the general population with renal cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining analysis also showed that a total of 16 of 18 malignant kidney cases among PLWH exhibited positive staining for KISS1R and CAIX. Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed mRNAs in HIV-associated kidney cancer revealed that several key pathways were involved, including vascular endothelial growth factor-activated receptor activity, IgG binding, and lipopolysaccharide receptor activity. Altogether, our findings reveal the identified molecular changes in kidney malignancy, which may offer a helpful explanation for cancer progression and open up new therapeutic avenues that may decrease mortality after a cancer diagnosis among PLWH.

Trans cohorts metabolic reprograming towards glutaminolysis in long-term successfully treated HIV-Infection: potential role in accelerated aging and latency reversal

Project description:Despite successful combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), persistent low-grade immune activation together with inflammation and toxic antiretroviral drugs can lead to long-lasting metabolic flexibility and adaptation in people living with HIV (PLWH). Our study investigated alterations in the plasma metabolic profiles by comparing PLWH on long-term cART(>5years) and matched HIV-negative controls (HC) in two cohorts from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), Cameroon and India, respectively to understand the system-level dysregulation in HIV-infection. Using untargeted and targeted LC-MS/MS-based metabolic profiling and applying advanced system biology methods, an altered amino acid metabolism, more specifically to glutaminolysis in PLWH than HC were reported. A significantly lower level of neurosteroids were observed in both cohorts and could potentiate neurological impairments in PLWH. Further, modulation of cellular glutaminolysis promoted increased cell death and latency reversal in pre-monocytic HIV-1 latent cell model U1, which may be essential for the clearance of the inducible reservoir in HIV-integrated cells.

Myeloid Dendritic Cells from People Living with HIV have Altered Gene Expression Not Restored by Anti-Retroviral Therapy

Project description:Myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) were isolated from antiretroviral therapy (ARV)-treated and untreated people living with HIV (PLWH), and from HIV uninfected Individuals. The results indicate that mDC are altered in genes expression from PLWH. Some RNA transcriptional changes are not completely restored by ARV. This provides more data on myeloid cells, an understudied cell type, and alterations in PLWH.

A two-gene signature for diagnosis of tuberculosis in persons with advanced HIV

Project description:Background: Tuberculosis (TB) among persons living with HIV (PLWH) poses diagnostic challenges. Although several transcriptional signatures have recently been identified as promising tool for TB diagnosis, data are limited in persons with advanced HIV. Methodology: Reads were aligned to the human transcriptome (GRCh38 version 100), comprising both mRNA and ncRNA, with Salmon v1.2.0. A Random Forest algorithm with “leave-one-out” cross-validation was applied in the variance stabilizing transformation gene expression. The identified biomarkers were compared to previous TB transcriptional signatures using the Area Under the Curve (AUC). Results: Functional analysis indicated that common upregulated pathways in TB/HIV patients were associated with Toll-like receptor cascades and neutrophil degranulation. A machine learning decision tree algorithm identified the expression values from RAB20 and INSL3 as most informative for classifying TB status in PLWH. Only these two genes were able to correctly classify all samples.

DNA methylation demonstrates bronchoalveolar cell senescence in people living with HIV: An observational cohort study

Project description:Background: Age-related comorbidities remain a burden in People living with HIV (PLWH). DNA methylation may be a link between HIV, aging, and the increased risk of lung comorbidities. Here, we investigate whether bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells of PLWH demonstrate epigenome wide disruptions and advanced epigenetic aging. Methods: BAL cell DNA methylation profiles from 25 PLWH and 16 uninfected controls were tested for differential methylation of transposable elements Alu and LINE-1, a marker of aging. We used a weighted gene correlation network analysis to identify co-methylation networks associated with HIV and age. We tested the effect of HIV on DNA methylation using a robust linear model. An enrichment analysis was conducted to identify differentially methylated pathways (false discovery rate <0.10). Results: The BAL cells of PLWH were marked by global hypomethylation in both Alu and LINE-1 elements. Six co-methylated CpG networks were identified that were significantly associated with age; of these, the red module was significantly differentially methylated in PLWH and enriched pathways associated with HIV, Ras signaling, T cell receptors, and bacterial invasion of epithelial cells. We identified 6,428 differentially methylated sites associated with HIV. Conclusions: We have shown here for the first time that alterations in the DNA methylation of BAL cells (mainly macrophages) in the lung HIV show in a pattern of advanced aging. In conjunction with our findings in blood cells and airway cells, this study strongly support that HIV may contribute to increase the risk of lung comorbidities through the epigenetic regulation of aging.

Epigenetic impairment and blunted transcriptional response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis of alveolar macrophages from persons living with HIV (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). HIV-associated TB is mainly the result of recent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) followed by rapid progression to disease. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are the first cells of the innate immune system that engage Mtb, but how HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) impact on the anti-mycobacterial response of AM is not known. In this study AM were challenged in vitro with Mtb, and their epigenetic and transcriptomic responses were determined for PLWH receiving ART, control subjects who were HIV-free (HC) and subjects who received pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with ART to prevent HIV infection. Compared to HC subjects’ response to Mtb, we showed that AM isolated from PLWH and PrEP subjects displayed substantially weaker transcriptomic response and no significant changes in their chromatin state. These findings revealed a previously unknown adverse effect of ART.

Impact of SLC-0111 (U-104) on HUH6 hepatoblastoma cell transcriptome in normoxic and hypoxic conditions

Project description:Carbonic anhydrase 9 (CAIX) is a transmembrane metalloenzyme whose main function is to maintain the acid-base balance of the cell and hypoxic condition induces its expression. Solid tumors often exhibit regions with low oxygen content in areas where the blood supply is insufficient. CAIX is overexpressed in multiple solid tumors, including hepatoblastoma, the most frequent childhood liver malignancy. SLC-0111 is a commercially available CAIX inhibitor that is currently passed Phase I clinical trial on solid tumors. In this study we assessed the impact of SLC-0111 on transcriptomic changes of HUH6 hepatoblastoma cell line cells in both normoxic and hypoxic condition.

Airway Aging and Methylation Disruptions in HIV-associated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [methylation]

Project description:Purpose:To identify whether accelerated aging can be observed in the airways of PLWH with COPD, manifest by a unique DNA methylation signature. Methods: Bronchial epithelial brushings from PLWH with and without COPD and HIV-uninfected adults with and without COPD (n=76) were profiled for DNA methylation and gene expression. We evaluated global Alu and LINE-1 methylation and calculated the epigenetic age using the Horvath clock and the methylation telomere length estimator. To identify genome-wide differential DNA methylation and gene expression associated with HIV and COPD, robust linear models were used followed by an expression quantitative trait methylation (eQTM) analysis. Results:Epigenetic age acceleration and shorter methylation estimates of telomere length were found in PLWH with COPD compared to PLWH without COPD and uninfected patients with and without COPD. We identified CpG sites, genes, and eQTM-gene pairs associated with the interaction between HIV and COPD. Conclusions: Methylation age acceleration is observed in the airway epithelium of PLWH with COPD, a process that may be responsible for the heightened risk of COPD in this population. Their distinct methylation profile, differing from that observed in patients with COPD alone, suggests a unique pathogenesis to HIV-associated COPD that warrants investigation into the candidate genes identified.
